The Teewald Porcelain Gaiwan Set earns high praise for its elegant design and superior brewing performance.

Know before you buy
Dehua porcelain is world-renowned for its high quality and dense, non-porous structure. This makes the gaiwan excellent at heat retention while ensuring it does not absorb the flavors of previous teas, allowing you to switch between different varieties without flavor carryover.
The 100ml size is ideal for solo sessions or if you prefer a more concentrated brew. If you frequently share tea with one or two others, the 120ml option provides a bit more volume to ensure everyone gets a full cup.
While the matte finish provides a sophisticated, tactile grip, it is just as easy to clean as glazed porcelain. Simply rinse it with warm water after each use and avoid abrasive scrubbers to maintain the smooth surface.
Yes, the lid is designed to sit precisely within the rim of the gaiwan. When held correctly, it acts as a filter to keep tea leaves in the vessel while allowing the liquid to pour smoothly into your cups.
Absolutely. The 20ml cups are designed specifically for the gongfu style of brewing, which focuses on small, concentrated infusions. They work perfectly for everything from delicate green teas to robust oolongs and aged pu-erhs.
